Project Abstract

Food is our energy source. We have an obligation to protect this future in the production of food. Buildings designed for the growth of agriculture is only one method. On an island such as Taiwan the bounty of farm land has disappeared. We need to seek alternative methods to produce healthy agriculture. That is our responsibility to our world.

10

Concept Statement

In the past, Taiwan, our government sufficiently considers urban planning and environmental protection. A lot of unlicensed factories occupied agricultural areas, and they secretly discharged industrial wastewater into rivers that were close to those factories. There were lots of farms and agricultural areas next to the rivers which secured water from these rivers. The industrial wastewater contained some heavy metals, strong acids, and base substances creating permanent problems.

The vegetables or fruits absorbed these heavy metals, strong acids, and base substances, and people began to get sick or die. For example, in 1950, many People got sick because they ate rice contaminated with cadmium from smelters plants. To this agricultural problem, we need to create a large and clean space for plants to grow. However, it is no longer possible to find sites because most of the farming lands are around factories or residential areas. There remains only polluted land. One of the options is to create new spaces to grow those plants away from the industrial areas and residential areas. For this, Taiwan is a fortunate place. It is an island in the Pacific Ocean, and the waters are an opportunity to create buoyant farms for the growth of plants and agriculture.

11

Agriculture Space

The island of Taiwan lies some 180 kilometres (110 mi) off the southeastern coast of mainland China, which lies across the Taiwan Strait , and has an area of 35,883 km 2 (13,855 sq mi). The East China Sea lies to the north, the Philippine Sea to the east, the Bashi Channel of the Luzon Strait directly to the south, and the South China Sea to the southwest.

Sea Level Rise

In 2016 it was reported that five of the Solomon Islands had disappeared due to the combined effects of sea level rise and stronger trade winds that were pushing water into the Western Pacific. Besides the issues that flooding brings, such as soil salinisation, the island states themselves would also become dissolved over time, as the islands become uninhabitable or completely submerged by the sea.

21

Research Summary

22

Taiwan is a small country and island. The area for people to live, work and grow food are limited. With the rise of population, residential and industrial areas continue to compress the scope of the agricultural area. Especially, our government didn’t sufficiently consider urban planning or environmental protection. This has led to the price of food increases and food safety issues, such as fake oil, fake rice and fake honey. Even though we didn’t feel the connection between architects and those issues. The connection has existed because those problems are made by buildings. For example, the land pollution came from the unlicensed factories we designed. Therefore, our architects should stand out and find a way to solve those problems. Those buildings we designed should protect people and make people safe. For solving those problems, the first thing we should think about that is where we should find a clean and safe place to grow our food. Also, the new location takes away from industrial areas and residential areas to avoid recontamination. Therefore, we think about moving our site to the ocean. Also, the new site should protect our plants from seawater, so the sea level rise is one problem to us too.

For this, we need to find a way to keep our site floating on the ocean.

Precedent Studies Summary

48

From those case study, we can understand lots of people care about food supply and sea level rise. Some of the architects think about rivers, some of the architects think about using the small public space in urban, and some of the architects think about the ocean. To Taiwan, the ocean maybe is the better choice because there is no big enough space in urban of Taiwan. Also, the rivers in Taiwan are not deep enough. Therefore, the ocean is the better choice to Taiwan. Then the next part will be how to keep our farms floating on the ocean. From Vincent Callebaut‘s Lilypad city, we can see that he uses the buoyant force to support the whole city on the ocean. However, he didn’t show us how the buoyant force works.On the other hand, I learned from Robert Smithson’s case about how to use the exist technology, and we can save more materials or energy by useing exist ships. Also, the shipbuilding is one of Taiwan’s important industries.

Therefore, it is easy to find some lift ship for recycling. Based on the above information, we can use the vessel as the foundation of the building. The world is changing. We can choose to keep think as before, or we can change our mind and think about different ways.

Function Program Ocean liners: Cover medium and long-distance routes without making round trips. Container ships with capacities between 4,000 and 8,000 TEUs are ideal for this type of route. This type of ship is often used in transatlantic routes.

Transatlantic liners: These are the largest, and may reach up to 14.500 TEU. The number of stops must be kept to a minimum for them to profitable to opeate, with 2 or 3 stops per trip. Approximately 50%-60% of their total cargo must be unloaded for a stop to be profitable.

Crew working area 70

Function Program Feeder ship: True to its name, this type of ship actually “feeds� the Hub ports in which transatlantic and ocean liners stop. Only the smallest ships can connect large Hub ports with smaller ports where transatlantic liners are unable to stop due to their size. For this reason these ship exist, which the range from several hundred TEUs to 3,000/4,000 TEUs.

Food Production

Form this table, we can see the area of total harvested area is lesser and lesser every year, but we can understand that we can gather 8 tons food per acre(18 MT/Ha).

72

This table is about how many seeds we will need for per each Acre

73

Hydroponic

Advantages :

plants will grow bigger and faster because they

will not have to work as hard to obtain nutrients. Even a small root system will provide the plant exactly what it needs, so the plant will focus more on growing upstairs instead of expanding the root system downstairs.

All of this is possible through careful control of your nutrient solution and pH levels. A hydroponic system will also use less water than soil based plants because the system is enclosed, which results in less evaporation. Believe it or not, hydroponics is better for the environment because it reduces waste and pollution from soil runoff.

Disadvantages :

A large scale hydroponics system can take a lot of

time to setup if you aren’t the most experienced grower.

Plus, managing your hydroponics system will take a lot of time as well. You will have to monitor and balance your pH and nutrient levels on a daily basis.

Plant Area and Production

In the past, farming lands are flat, so they need a big and flat place to growing plant.

However, our technology is heigher than before, so we can growing same or more plants at same time but in a smaller space. For example, in the past, farmer growing plant on the ground as 2D, but we can use hydroponic to growing plants on the shelf as 3D. Therefore, we can grow more plants in a smaller but heigher enough space.

76

Hydroponic Requirements

Water –

pH measurements between 5.0 and 7.0 are a rule of thumb.

Light –

Direct sunlight exposure or supplemental lighting is required on average of 8-10 hours per day.

Nutrients –

The primary nutrients required for plant growth are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.

Temperature –

Consistent temperatures between 50 -70 degrees for fall plants and 60-80 degrees for spring plants.

Oxygen –

Supplemental oxygen supply is require for optimal nutrient uptake.

Structure & Support – Stakes and strings are usually needed to support plants as they grow.

77

Desalination

Use the semipermeable membrane to remove larger particles from seawater. A system that can be put into the container are able to provide sea water reverse osmosis desalination solutions from 5,000 to 5 Million liters per day.

83

User group

Farmers To a farming land, those farmers will be the first one option we will think about. They work in the farming land and growing vegetable in there for us. They work in farming land whole day, and most of the farmers have the Bachelor of Agriculture. Their job includes weeding, watering and fertilisation.

84

Procurement staff

17

Their job is shopping good and fresh ingredients for restaurants. Sometimes, they look for ingredients in the markets, but sometimes they will work with farm owners. They may have a contract for renting an area to plants those special ingredients for their restaurants.

18 85

Crew In order to keep the vessel running, we need the crew to work on the board (our agricultural base). Their work will focus on driving the ship, maintaining the engine, and assisting vessel loading and unloading.

20

86

Researcher 21

Plants get sick as human, so we need plant doctor to take care there. Also, we need researchers to do breeding to keep our provenances and enrich our breed. Also, we need those researchers to do some test for our water, soil and environment to make sure everything is clean and safe.

22

87

Program Table

The user groups for floating farming will be focus on 5 different type of people. First is the crew because we need those people to drive this ship and keep this ship working. Second is the farmers because this is a farming. The next one is the researchers because we need those people to do biological experiments for plants to make sure they are healthy. The last group will be visiter because we want to popularize this project. We will need to invide different type of people coming to see and share theri experiance.

Sustainability Strategy Louver system The operating louver system is located on all four sides of the elevations and attached to the steel structural frame.

The cross-ventilation operates continuously throughout the year depending on which side the container ship is moving.

The louvers operate differently for living spaces than the spaces for hydroponics and plant growth.

144

Sunlight Sunlight is optimized based on the orientation of the moving vessel and the hydroponic plant infrastructure. Plants are exposed at different times of the day depending on the south or west orientation.

145

In Winter At each core in the winner, the cold water will pass through the heated pipes in the engine room. Then the hot water will pass through each zone to warm the air.

146

In Summer At each core in the summer, the cold water will pass through in each zone to cool the air.
